The problem is if Getz does NOT move either Robert or Crochet at the TDL, there's nothing to promote for the rest of the season. Just the new high first round draft pick. And teams can always come up their own creative offers for Crochet extensions like huge incentives (easily reached with 20-25ish starts) and/or deferred dollars into the future like the Dodgers did with Ohtani.

See Garcia, Freddy...huge offer at the time never is made without extension with Sox already baked in.

Top 3 or 5 all-time in NCAA assists without extra Covid year. Higher average 3 pointer made in distance over S.Curry and Trae Young at 28 feet. She would get some cred it the black community if she joined Ice Cube’s 3 vs. 3 baller league for ten games and $5-10 million, but that would only annoy the other 95% of WNBA that has to play overseas to subsidize their salaries with $1 million dollar deals like Griner in Russia or Taurasi. I mean, Clark’s even getting criticized because her best friend Kate Martin is quickly becoming very good friends with A’ja Wilson, the best player in the league. Versus the perception Clark’s black teammates don’t have her back, which isn’t the case with Temi f**benle and Aliyah Boston. Like Martin is a traitor to Caitlin.

From flyover territory. Look at voting trend last decade. White boyfriend. Catholic/family are churchgoers, but seem to be more old school or traditional/conservative in their beliefs as daughter also attended private Catholic DM Dowling. ND was her first school choice, along with UConn.

Conversely…after being derailed for half a decade, Chris Sale is one of the top pitchers in baseball again. Crochet just looks like he has found his footing as a starter…and Ragans is holding up as a 95+ starter despite even two previous TJ surgeries. Some upper tier revenue team will certainly be willing to invest $100+ million if Juan Soto is going to get $655 million without even being a good outfielder. Another lefty, Imanaga was one of the biggest FA bargains of the off season and nearly everyone thought $75 million was a huge overpay for a high strikeout guy without dominating velocity. AJ Preller will make a calculated gamble like this…as he can’t afford to add another massive contract over $150-200 million. And maybe it would blow up and cost him his job.

If opposing teams don’t believe that extending him is even a 5-10% possibility, why would they offer bigger packages, knowing the clock is ticking on his usefulness this season or even that an injury could still occur? Giving even the Cease return requires a lot of cojones from at least 2-3 teams…or no bidding war. Certainly need two playoff contenders.

Joy. Nearly too late to establish any trade value once again.

That Ron feels he is in a position to negotiate, or has any leverage. Since he can't discuss politics, he's branched over into ethics. There's zero interest in baseball in Saudia Arabia, compared to golf or Formula 1 or futbol. Diversifying to baseball from an oil and petroleum based economic foundation makes absolutely zero sense. He definitely isn't in a position to brag about the Cubs' season, either.

Too early..

Too early...

https://www.mlb.com/gameday/royals-vs-dodgers/2024/06/15/746135 Yamamoto exits early with triceps tightness/tendonitis.

No Ron questioning the tobacco usage?

https://www.mlb.com/news/under-the-radar-mlb-all-star-candidates-for-2024 Daulton Varsho and Nicky Ortiz featured. Remember arguing with nearly everyone about Varsho but defensive versatility gives him a solid floor. And no Chapman at 3B...value continues to erodel as he ages and bat speed slows, having to cheat on pitches more and more.

Little thing called leverage in trade negotiations…seems lost on Getz.

The mainstream snd even right wing media love her...her story produces numerous spinoff articles on an almost daily basis. It's the left or progressive side that seems to be taking an issue with her.

This sounds like the tail numbers tracker all over Musk’s private jet location.

Chris Sale 9-2, 2.98 20 game winner?

What is he doing tonight? Sulking? Complaining about the heat? Amazingly, Lopez still outhitting Benintendi.

Not counting Fedde? Or assuming no Robert or Crochet trades due to hard to properly establish valuations?

Saw where Crochet was leading or tied for the MLB strikeout lead as of yesterday...

Might as well just DFA Soroka. Whatever he once had with ATL is now permanently gone. The crispness and bite on his pitches, even though the velo is mostly back.

Has to be a ski instructor with that name...

This game just keeps getting progressively worse. Watch DBacks will be leading NL WC race by the end of the weekend.

See Goldschmidt Hosmer Pujols etc.
